Pritchard, 44, a World War II fighter pilot and commander of the 49th Bomber Wing in Korea (Silver Star, D.F.C., Air Medal with twelve oakleaf clusters), was assigned to Iceland only two months ago, and was actually out of the country when the latest blowup happened.

Last week, after what one associate called "quite an emotional wrench," Muñoz threw his support behind a new idea: a proposal to Congress that when per-capita income in Puerto Rico equals that of the poorest state (Mississippi's $1,053 v.
